Prayer from our Teacher, the Gaon and Tzaddik, Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, for the time of the Molad of the month of Sivan (Written in 5777)

At the moment of the Molad of the month of the Giving of the Torah, which is Friday night at 9:11 and 12 parts, one can already hear the Shofar of the left horn of the ram, which Hashem blew at the Giving of the Torah. Through this, all the worlds ascend and clothe the Essence of the Holy Beard of Atik Kadisha (The Holy Ancient One). All the vessels of Malchus (Kingship), Zeir Anpin (The Small Face), Abba and Imma (Father and Mother), and Arich Anpin (The Long Face) clothe the Holy Beard of Atik Yomin (The Ancient of Days). For always, on every Festival, the vessels of the lower Partzuf (Divine Persona) ascend and clothe the Essence of the Upper World. The ascent of the Upper Partzuf already preceded this to make room for the ascent of the vessels of the lower Partzuf. This happens at the Molad of the month of Sivan, when the Ten Commandments were given, their impurity ceased, and they merited the Resurrection of the Dead.

For in every month of Sivan, the illumination of the Resurrection of the Dead shines, in the secret of "Jacob took for himself a fresh rod of poplar, almond (Luz), and plane." For Jacob merited the Giving of the Torah, the secret of the Resurrection of the Dead, the 'Luz bone.' He passed this to Joseph, "to the crown of the head of the one separated from his brothers," the secret of the Luz bone, the secret of "A round head for the throne," the secret of circles, the secret of 'The calf and the membrane of the lips,' the secret of circles, the secret of the Resurrection of the Dead, the secret of Luz where Hashem appeared to Jacob—the secret of the Resurrection of the Dead. As Rabbi Levi said in the name of Rabbi Chama bar Chanina: Jacob our Patriarch thought that the Resurrection of the Dead would arrive in his days [Bereishis Rabbah, Vayeshev 84:11].

For at the moment of the Molad of the month of Sivan, all the worlds clothe the Beard of Atik Yomin. From there, on the 2nd of Sivan, they clothe the Gevurah (Might) of Atik Yomin, in the secret of "The Torah was given from the mouth of the Gevurah," which is the Gevurah of Atik Yomin. Cain and Abel needed to ascend there—according to Rabbi Eliezer on Chanukah, and according to Rabbi Yehoshua on Shavuos [Bereishis Rabbah 22:4]. Regarding this, it says 'Ten Utterances,' for Cain said to Abel 'Fly in the air,' let us see if you can rectify the 288 sparks. Through this, [they would] hear the Ten Commandments, which is the secret of "Moses approached the thick cloud (Arafel)" [Gematria] 380, on the 2nd of Sivan, the secret of "In the electricity (B'Chashmal)" [=380], the secret of "God will give you from the dew of the heavens," the dew of the Resurrection of the Dead [Pirkei DeRabbi Eliezer 32]. Therefore, "Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him," and he asked, "Have you not reserved a blessing for me?"—the blessing of the Resurrection of the Dead from the World of Atzilut (Emanation) [Megaleh Amukos, Toldos].

For according to Rabbi Yehoshua, Abel was murdered on Shavuos, and according to Rabbi Eliezer, he was murdered on Zos Chanukah. For they need to ascend on Zos Chanukah to the Gevurah of Atik, from where the Ten Commandments come, and the victory of the Hasmoneans over the Greeks. For Hashem gave Cain and Abel 50 days to rectify the sin of Adam and Eve, to return the 370 myriad lights that were taken from Eve, and the 150 myriad lights that were taken from Adam [Kavanos Rosh Hashanah 6]. For through the Chanukah candles, we return the 370 myriad and 150 myriad lights taken from Adam and Eve—together they are 520, ten times [the Gematria of] Elijah (Eliyahu), for he is the one who returns to us at every single Bris (circumcision) the 370 myriad lights and 150 lights taken from Adam and Eve. And on Shavuos, Hashem opened the upper and lower realms for them to show them that He is the Only One in heaven and earth and there is no other. Through this, they merited two lambs, corresponding to Na'aseh (We will do) and Nishma (We will hear)—one from the 370 myriad lights, and one from the 150 myriad lights.

Prayer from our Teacher, the Gaon and Tzaddik, Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, which was written in the prison in Johannesburg for the Molad of the month of Sivan 5776, and was found now within the books transferred from the prison in Ramla in the month of Nissan 5777

Master of the World, Omnipotent One, at the Molad of the month of Sivan which will occur (then, on Sunday at 11:23 AM) [today, Friday night at 9:11 and 12 parts], in which the 11 chieftains of Esau are subjugated through Moses our Teacher who received the Tablets—for he is in the aspect of the High Priest, the secret of 23 parts. He drew down the Tablets and the Ten Commandments from Atik Kadisha, the Hidden of all Hidden, the Ancient of all Ancients, the Concealed of all Concealed. And from Atik Kadisha, light was drawn to Arich Anpin, and from there to the Mazal (spiritual conduit) of Notzer for Abba (Father), and from the Mazal of Nakeh to Imma (Mother). This is the illumination of Wisdom that spreads to thirty-two paths. And from that hidden brain, the Ancient of all Ancients, the Hidden of all Hidden, the Ten Commandments were drawn down, specifically the commandment "I am Hashem your God who took you out of the land of Egypt from the house of bondage," Gematria 'Abraham Isaac Jacob Moses Aaron Joseph David' 'Sarah Rebecca Rachel Leah' [2495]. For through the seven shepherds and the four matriarchs, the Mochin (Divine Intellect) from which the Ten Commandments come were drawn down.

And from that Atik Kadisha of all holy ones, the Concealed of all Concealed, it is made into three heads, and one head that includes them all. And these three brains spread to Zeir Anpin, and bring up lights; all of this Wisdom is engraved, and brings forth one light, in the secret of "As an eagle rouses its nest, hovering over its young," in the secret of Binah (Understanding) which is revealed on the holiday of Shavuos. It gives Mochin to Zeir Anpin and to Malchus (Kingship), which is comprised of Rachel and Leah [274], and "Then the chieftains of Edom were confused, the mighty men of Moab were seized with trembling."

For on the holiday of Shavuos, everyone ascends to the World of the Malbush (Garment), from where the 22 letters come, and even higher to the World of Tehiru (Purity), about which it is said, "A river goes out from Eden to water the garden." And by subjugating the 11 chieftains of Esau, in the secret of "And these are the kings who reigned in the land of Edom," who are rectified only through the Da'as (Knowledge), which is called the 'Depth of the Well,' from where "In the light of the King's face is life," in the secret of "Living waters and flowing from Lebanon," from the whiteness (Levuna) of the brain, and then "And by knowledge, the chambers are filled."

And when that [aspect] of Atik Kadisha, the Concealed of all Concealed, the Will of Wills, is revealed, everything shines, and everything is found in the joy of completion. Then "A river goes out from Eden to water the garden," and then the unification of Abba and Imma occurs, "And He gave to Moses... two tablets of stone, tablets of the covenant, when He finished speaking with him (kechaloto)," the secret of bride and groom (chatan v'kallah), the unification of Abba and Imma. Then the Holy Name is revealed, the Name of 72 (Ayin-Beis), Abba - Yod Hei, Imma - Vav Hei, which is revealed only on the holiday of Shavuos. Then Abba and Imma ascend in the secret of the Beard to the Mazal of Notzer, Gematria Ratzon (Will). For on the night of Shavuos, Rachel and Leah are united, after Leah was concealed on Seder night and hinted at in the Charoset: Chas-Rus (Mercy-Ruth), Chaim-Rus (Life-Ruth), for Ruth is in the secret of Leah, for from both of them comes Mashiach ben David, and Rachel is in the secret of Mashiach ben Yosef.

For the revelation of Mashiach ben David is revealed on the night of Shavuos, because on Shavuos David was born and passed away. 'Father is lying in the sun and the dogs of father's house are hungry'—the Megaleh Amukos explains [140]: The moment David's soul disappears, the clipah (husk) of the dog becomes strong in the world. Only through Chatzos (Midnight Prayer) can one subdue the clipah of the dog, which the Children of Israel subdued completely at the Exodus from Egypt, and "against the Children of Israel, no dog whetted its tongue." And 'Baal Zephon' had the form of a dog [Baal Zephon = Kelev Ra (Bad Dog) = Yeravam = 322]. This is the idolatry of Babylon, "Baladan son of Baladan," a dog son of a dog, for Baladan called himself a dog, because his father Baladan's face changed into that of a dog. On the night of Shavuos, by remaining awake all night, we nullify this clipah completely, and then we ascend to the Mazal of Notzer in Arich, and through this, we hear the Ten Commandments.

For in the First Tablets, all the Mitzvos were included—Torah laws and Rabbinic laws, Halacha given to Moses at Sinai, and all the decrees and homiletic interpretations until the end of all generations. Then their impurity ceased, "I said you are gods and all of you are children of the Most High," and then everyone reached the level of Elokim Havayah, in the secret of "The one thousand, seven hundred and seventy-five," which is the secret of the 'Vavs,' the secret of the hairs of Adam Kadmon (Primordial Man) which was hidden even from Moses. And the Gate of the 50th was revealed to them, after fifty days when they merited to be included in all the Sefiros, in the secret of "I am First and I am Last," for the Gate of Fifty in the secret of 'I am First' shines in all levels until 'I am Last.'

For on the night of Shavuos, we merit "The river that goes out from Eden," for then Eden Ila'ah (Upper Eden) is revealed, in the secret of the Concealed of all Concealed, the Ancient of all Ancients. For then all the hundred crowns are revealed, in the secret of Adam HaRishon who was comprised of one hundred cubits, for previously he was from one end of the world to the other, because he was included in the Ein Sof (Infinite). Therefore, any place he decreed to be settled became settled. And therefore, Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, who was the soul of Moses, was surrounded by fire all his days, and a pillar of fire lifted his bier, for the First Tablets were Upper Wisdom, the wisdom of Moses, and the Second Tablets given on Yom Kippur were Lower Wisdom, the wisdom of Solomon. And all our prayers now are that we should return now, in the merit of being awake at the Molad and on the night of Shavuos, and ascend anew to the wisdom of Moses, the wisdom of the Hidden Ancient One, and be included in the secret of the Vavs which are the hairs of Adam Kadmon, the root of all the souls of Israel. And may we merit in every moment and second to hear the Ten Commandments anew, and through this, the Holy Temple will be built, and Mashiach ben David will be revealed, and we will merit the complete Geulah (Redemption) speedily in our days, Amen.
